A native of Chicago\, IL she grew up  around houseplants and helping her mother tend to their garden. Because of this Veronica feels it’s her birthright to be a Black grower of food and plants for mental spiritual and emotional well-being. Being a natural covener of people\, she found and built a community on Instagram in April of 2020 that has since grown to over 11K followers.  Through this platform\, Veronica encourages others to explore the benefits of plant therapy. She hosts events and workshops around plant therapy and also created a program called Plant Therapy for Kids\, a soon to be non-profit that teaches children applicable life skills through gardening and plant care.  A mother\, wife\, entrepreneur and community advocate\, you can find Veronica spending her free time traveling with family\, working on community awareness campaigns and running their mobile food truck business\, the Taste Smokers. \nVlad Nikolic is a plant influencer based in Washington\, D.C. After owning a carnivorous plant business in Europe\, Vlad (Mr. Houseplant) moved to Washington DC to continue pursuing his passion for plants\, by teaching houseplant care through fun and easy videos. He has 450\,000 social media followers and his videos have been viewed over 65 million times. \n  \n
